AA - if its a pen its a yellow card. Waving your hand towards the ball is no help
Hadn't seen the Welsh game, just watched that clip and had to laugh at Cyclops claiming there was nothing wrong just clumsy. You can see 1/2p grab his shorts in the last bit of the clip. Odd as he is not normally daft like that but he got nowhere near the ball and took man out so clear yellow.
Nearly as bad as that diving git Earls 🙂

Indeed the grab at the shorts is key, glad someone is able to actually see and present a considered opinion. But he did get his hand to the ball. He however didnt just run into his legs and flip him or not go for the ball, Parisse is just taller and won the ball I think its harsh.

if your referring to Parisse rolling about on the floor I agree. Great player but sometimes a bit of a panto clown.
AA give it a rest you are getting boring.in the game that Wales apparently murdered England at scrum time there were 3 scrums in the whole game, none of which were lost according to the stats from Accenture on the BBC web site.
from espn who say there were 6 scrums:
16:16 Wales pile on the pressure at scrum time leading to a penalty on half way - Priestland drills it forward
16:22 Wales obliterate England's scrum. They win the penalty and they'll go for the three points.
I think the England front will be fine, just a bit short of experience at the moment but they'll improve which is the whole mentality of this team. In the back row, I expect to see robshaw go to the blind side when wood comes back and undecided on Morgan. He needs more conditioning or England need a different player.the second row worries me. Botha isn't an international quality player, parling has a specific use. It must be lawes and another, I'd like to see Atwood in there. Things will be much improved when care is back ( I know, I know he's a knob) and it would help if Farrell gets more time at 10 for his club.
youngs, Ashton and catflap need to be dropped post haste.
So, a lot of work needed but we knew this and it ain't gonna happen overnight. This 6n is essentially a training camp for England.
Convincing French win, 15+ points.
Have to agree wrecker, parling and botha are fine but underpowered. One would be fine but england need more grunt at lock. If you will pick fat ugly Turks you have to expect them to be fat are were sure he has no Quinnel genes?

For me, France by 8-12 points.
Brakes
England 18 - France 15.
TJ
France by ten.
AA
. My prediction is that France will take england apart up front and win by 12.
Bruk
France by 10-15.
Kryton
England by "some" if they get behind the french in the first 15. Otherwise a dull, mistake ridden (by both side) game leading to a fortuitus win by France.
Think that's all of them.
Boxfish
3-3 draw
I'm going for a 3-3 draw 😈

I don't get it. He's a proffessional sportsman, he just needs to be thrashed until his eyes bleed. FFS, give him to the marines or paras for the entire off season. That'll do it.
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!
He's a ****ing animal.
Great try. Wouldn't fancy tackling that!
Think I may have got my score prediction wrong...
Will be interesting watching how Les Bleus handle that.
He's fast for a big unit.
Well taken try from the French mistake.

YEEESSSSSSSSS AGAIN!
😀
Thats what a welshmen can do !!! Game well and truly on !!!
Crikey I may have got my prediction wrong too!
Do the French think they are playing touch rugby?
Christ, the french are crap, more mistakes. Have they forgotten how to tackle after they've screwed up?

You can have welsh Morgan if we can have English warburton. 😀
Incroyable!
France appear to be playing "pomme de terre chaude"
Rattled eh France? 🙂
I would like to state now that if eng win it will just prove how great wales are. Nowt to do with france being shit.
Sarkozy's face is a picture 😆
You can have Warbs Rolland would have sent him off by now!!
Imanol "The Black Knight" Harinordoquy. Injured?
Pah, 'tis but a scratch.
Croft = Idiot.
Rougerie was full on charging in and playing the whistle. Fair tackle.
Croft = Idiot.
Ah rolland 🙄
The most knee jerk random ref around. I'd bet that as a person, he's a proper knob. Duckman, care to comment?
Croft = Idiot.
He didn't actually do anything though did he? Not even handbags. Nothing.
Shaping up to be a very open game. Nice.
WTF is Harry ordinary doing rolling around on the floor with the ball in his hands? The English rucking needs to be far more "robust"

Legally stealing the ball. Very effective it is too. 🙂
Wonder which France will come out for the second half?
Hmmmm. A bit more intensity please, and stronger/faster at the breakdown otherwise the frogs will take this from us.
There Is nothing legal stealing ball then crawling along the floor with it.
[i]Croft = Idiot[/i]
Penalty was against Ashton, not Croft, wasn't it?
Weird that Ashton's playing, when Strettle's been playing well and Ashton hasn't.
Legal steal (He was on his feet, etc)
Then, went to ground to secure ball.
Both entirely legal.
Open the other eye, Wrecker. 😉
Dez, I thought it was Croft.
Either way, uncalled for reaction, whoever it was, I would say.
